I've tried this, but I have yet to perfect my regexp! Heheh.
It does work, but so far I get mixed results. I'll keep at it.

There has to be a way to code in that option. (I mean this mail client
is already filled to the brim with options ;-).)
OK cool. The Alt+Ins thing works (as you can see), but let me ask
this: Is there a way to get templates to automatically hit Alt+Ins for
me?
Let's say I Ctrl+A Ctrl+C Ctrl+R really fast. If the template
automatically ran Alt+Ins, that's all I'd need.
Also, I wrote a perl script to grab the name of the currently playing
song in WinAmp. Of course, this sort of thing is trivial under Linux,
but while I'm in Windows, thought this would be kind of neat.
Is there a way to run a program when I hit sent, BUT carry the output
of that program with it in the body of the message?
I'm going to take a wild guess <g> and say that someone has already
done this before..
